Equipment Appraisals

The time-frame and work effort required to complete an appraisal will vary based on several factors including the number, type, age, condition, location(s), and accessibility of the equipment units in scope. A relatively simple appraisal engagement will typically be completed within 2 to 3 weeks of receipt of a signed engagement letter. More complex appraisals will typically take more time. Of course, we will always ensure every effort to meet your specific requirements.
